 SALF Youth ChalleNGe Partnership

Throughout the past year National Guard Youth ChalleA/Ge Academy

Cadre (staff) have worked diligently with Save A Life Foundation
(SALF) to train thousands of Youth ChalleA/Ge cadets in basic life
supporting first aid (LSFA) skills. Cadet training continues at sites
across the country, with the expectation of thousands more being
trained in the coming year. Funded by the Department of Defense,
SALF coordinated the training of 140 Youth ChalleA/Ge Cadre, with
medical backgrounds as instructors, provided training materials and
equipment to train their cadets at Youth ChalleA/Ge Academies in
more than 30 sites nationwide.

In 1993, the Youth ChalleA/Ge program, opened in Rantoul, Illinois

(at the former Chanute Air Force Base) by the National Guard
Bureau in an effort to provide alternative education for high school
"at risk" students ages 16-18 who were in danger of dropping out of
traditional school environments. The success of Lincoln's ChalleA/Ge
lead to the opening of Youth ChalleA/Ge sites, most at military bases,
across the country.

In 2005 Lincoln's ChalleA/Ge Academy's Director, Sergeant Major

Peter Thomas initiated a partnership with SALF to empower
cadets with life supporting first aid skills as part of a well balanced
education, creating a network of spontaneous volunteers ready to
lend aid in an emergency prior to emergency medical service arrival.
Mentored by their instructor the cadets also come to value the role of
emergency medical service (EMS) as a possible career choice.

 Led by National Guard professionals, SALF's Bystander Basics©
course became so well accepted by the cadets that in 2006 the
Guard's Independent Inspection Team observed and evaluated
the training for themselves, reporting to National Guard Bureau
Headquarters in Washington, DC their extreme satisfaction with the
program. Alimentally this stimulated Youth Challe/VGe Academies at
30 sites to incorporate SALF's course for nearly 7,000 cadets.

Over the course of one year SALF monitored, evaluated and

reported the results of each trained Cadet, revealing 97% retention
of skills learned. Thus, proving cadets now have the knowledge
and willingness to lend aid in an emergency. This was further
demonstrated at Florida's Youth Challe/VGe, Camp Blanding, Starke,
Florida, with a cadet's life being saved shortly afterthe course. "By
empowering our youth with life saving skills they become a more
responsible citizen," stated Carol Spizzirri, SALF Founder.

Save A Life Foundation continues to work with Youth ChalleA/Ge

Academies, to expand its focus on our youth, by providing
classroom and practical training with it's First Responder - Careers
in Healthcare (FR-CIH) course to willing cadets. FR-CIH is geared
toward high school aged youth. The cadet can receive National
Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) First
Responder, Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident
Management System {NIMS) certifications upon completion. FR-
CIH compliments the Youth Challe/VGe program perfectly, preparing
young men and women to enter advanced training for a career in
emergency medical services, law enforcement, fire service, nursing,
emergency management or public service, and could earn cadet's an
additional stripe should they enter the military service.
